Ricardo,

The other MBs I have and have had are all Euro spec *except* for the 500E and the SL500. I noticed though that the switch holds the shifts longer but I am not sure how it works with the 500E. The cars I've driven with the S/E switch have smaller engines and normally start on 1st gear if I recall correctly.

You are correct, the S/E switches are not supplied with North American spec E500/500Es.

From what is stated in the link you posted, it would seem that you don't need 1st gear start, lucky you.

Send us some pics!
